Transmission from mother to infant is the most common way that children become infected with HIV. HIV may be transmitted from infected women to their offspring in utero, during labor and delivery, or through breast-feeding. Ninety percent of infected children acquired the virus from their mother. The risk of transmission of HIV from mother to infant is approximately 25%, with estimates ranging from 15% to 45%, depending on what country they live in.
